They only decide to talk, cry and acknowledge these problems when they get their wake up call:russell:


Can't be taken seriously or seen as genuine when it's coming from a member of the Black Hollywood Elite. She'll be there next year, nothing to see here or care about :snooze:

Chris Rock should still host for the material. His monologue is already written for him. Not only should he play up the whole whiteness angle, he should go at the black people who are trying to force him to step down.

"Ay Jada, why you so mad? It's bc Will didn't get nominated right? Tell de troof! BTW, your son looks better in his dress than you tonight."

"Yo Cheadle, you were in a Miles Davis biopic no one saw. How's it feel to know MC Ren had a better shot at a nomination than you did?"

"Spike Lee... How ya gonna cry about whites fouling blacks while you wearin a Kristaps Porzingis jersey?"

She's married to a Cac. :camby:
I dont think that has anything to do with it, in my opinion it was nothing but truths...

More than 15 years ago will made a decison to chase the money and go deep into the sci-fi genre. He tried forcing his son into the mainstream and his last few movies have been horrible.

He clearly went went for an oscar nod with concussion, it was an ok movie, but not great. I also feel that idris, cheadle and denzel are better black actors.

Will has to pick better roles... The only thing janet said that I disagree with is what happen with the fresh prince show, she should let that go.

But like she said hollywood can ostracized you very quick. Hollywood is another world, those white powerful jews dont give a damn about jada or will and will go with other prominent black actors over him for roles.

I agree with the fact the choose the wrong time to do it but at the same time they are asking Black People that were supposed to go to the Oscars to boycott to send a message they are not asking us to do shyt. Can you imagine Oscar night if Chris Rock is the only black person in the building and spend the whole night roasting the cacs in attendance:myman:
he'll look like Eddie Murphy in that Redneck bar in 48hrs :jawalrus:, on the real if there were no blax in attendance I don't think anyone would care or notice same way they didn't care to notice there were non in the nominees

don't feel like reading this whole thread and the articles... who is this fuss over exactly? I mean, i get it, the lack of non-whites is comical, but who are these people campaigning for?

-Idris Elba and Will Smith in lead actor? Will doesn't deserve it.
When has that stopped the academy from handing out noms :why:
-Ryan Coogler in Director? There are only 5 spots, and that dude is gonna be a Hollywood darling for 40 years to come. He'll get his.
-Straight Outta Compton? You knew that never had a chance at a Best Picture nom.

What else? I'm asking honestly.
You just making shyt up as you go? He ain't Hollywood's darling now so how are you seeing him be 1 in the future? You are just conjectoring a fallacy

I agree with you in principle..

The problem is BET and NAACP states that they are unapologetically Black.. They don't attempt to be mainstream or all inclusive..

I would respect the Oscar and Emmy process much more if they change the name to "The White Film Makers of America" or "The White Excellence Awards"...
